  1. This place is known as Devils Den now and in those days and during the war. I had a photo of the Wanamaker family in their 1904 Winton taken at the same spot. As stated previously, this was a popular destination and a trolley line also went there. There are many photos taken at this same spot with automobiles and their caretakers. Robert Barrett of Angola , New York has one of these musical devices on his 1912 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost touring and can play it as well.

    Wow, you folks really know your stuff!! I am in awe. I have another photo, sadly it is about the same profile. This must have been taken at a car club event. If you look behind the car there is a box camera on a tripod and more box cameras on the ground.

     

    This photo is taken at Devils Den at the Gettysburg Battlefield, a popular destination for automobilists.

  3. "Are you saying that I should take the plate off to see the manufacturer or is the manufacturer's name on the edge of the plate?"Removing the plate only gives access to the valve chamber and will not have any name or other text. Serial numbers are often stamped on the cast frame usually around the crankshaft bearing area.

    If Teddy rode in that car, he would have occupied the whole seat.......................!

    Perhaps you are thinking of President William Howard Taft as President Roosevelt was not an outsized man. 

     

  5. If the s/n in the photo is  185135 as it appears, it would have been manufactured June 1928 however, there do not appear to be stamped STARS before and after the number nor is there an "A" prefix and, the number 3 is not the correct font for any year.
